Show me some non Guards Red-Red cars!

[petrolblue83911]

Looking to see some other red's for comparison before I paint my sc, I am moving towards Polo red-regardless of the fact that it would be a "non origional" color, -I don't care about that kind of concern, I know I want red, but maybe not guards

Come on dude - do a search

The Utlimate Guards Red (Wachen rot) Picture Thread

[Super_Dave_D]

oh you said NON guards - my bad

[petrolblue83911]

the problem is that for the threads that we start with the "show me your..." a search doesnt help because we generally post pics and not text, IE-for the 8 ways I tried searching this, 0 came up. I don't see a way to search by thread title? -maybe I'll try to see if there is an advanced setting?

slodave has an '84 Targa in Arena Red. Very cool color.

I'm not sure exactly what colour my car is. The paint code is 018 tangerine, but that's long gone. A PO did a cheapo paint job on it. I've seen a few other similar reds in cars of the same period (pre-74). I think this shade of red suits the old cars better than guards red, and along the same lines I think this colour would look dull on the later cars.

Here's a pic next to a guards red 930, to help illustrate the difference:

Carmine Red:

I went through the same process, I was seeing red in my sleep there are so many shades of red.
I settled on PERU RED. I almost went with Carmine though.
They are both beautiful colors.
I think I settled on Peru because it was a stock color for my year and Carmine was stock for a later year.

Guys that's perfect,

Carmine Red it is. My car is an 81 targa, and I know Carmine was not avail at that time, but I really don't care, I really like this color, and the Peru ,-but the Carmine is exactly what I had in the back of my mind as the right shade.

Thanks!

-car should be ready for paint within a week, and I hope to have it done in November

Carmine is awesome! True red, without the "orangishness" of Guards Red.
